'Housewife' Danielle Staub embarked on ‘spiritual journey’

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” had already taped, and Bravo was already teasing Giudice’s infamous restaurant-table-flipping incident, which we later discovered was sparked by her fury at Staub…. “That was where I sort of as a young lady started to make some wrong turns,” she says. “I got to revisit it through writing, and it was a great experience. Painful at times.”
Staub, 47, also has a fitness and nutrition video, a T-shirt line and a beauty guide in the works. And she happily reports that her daughter Christine, 16, is a model with IMG.”… Younger daughter Jillian just recorded her first single, which will be soon released on iTunes”

Somehow this is reminiscent of people throwing their virgin daughters into volcanoes, to appease the gods. This article mentions abuse this mom experienced as a young girl, yet her 16 year old is working as a model, and her younger daughter is releasing her new single.

Ms. Rohan, I wonder why you didn’t ask her about protecting her daughters from making decisions children shouldn’t have to make at such a young age. It seems that it would be all the more important when they clearly come from a, at least a somewhat dysfunctional background. But I guess that is part of the dysfunction.

Being a famous teenager has got to be more dangerous than being a shark trainer. The waters those teens must swim in contain some very smart sharks. IMHO today, you can equate this to corporal punishment; it’s OK at times, but often fame, and hitting your kids does more harm than good.

As you sacrifice your daughters to the altar of public notoriety, I hope they’re not required to make all the same mistakes you did. Ms Staub, don’t you think you should find a spiritual guide who would recommend you protect your kids from the stuff that dragged you down to your “painful times”?
